alt Hacker NewsIt can be harder to justify in private tooling where you might only have a few dozen or hundred devs saving those seconds per each invocation.
But in public tooling, where the benefit is across tens of thousands or more? It's basically always worth it.
Obviously effort vs reward comes in here, but if you have 20 devs and you save 5 seconds per run, you save a context switch on every tool invocation possibly.
